Roll Call: Yes: Schumann, Williamson, Glassburn, Brossard, Limpert, Hemann, Kelly No: None Motion carried. Ordinance 2020-77 adopted 7-0. Councilman Glassburn voted yes with comment. This is definitely an area in which the Council is wading into that we don't know a lot about. We will have to see how this works out and if changes need to be made at a later time. Thank you, Councilwoman Hemann voted yes with comment. My first inclination is that most of our City lots are too small for this type of thing. We do have one or two residents that are doing it successfully. I would hope that those residents that follow will be cognizant of the fact that you know it's a pretty big undertaking, and that, if changes do need to be made on a going forward basis I would also be open to doing that. Yes. Thank you.
